If the theme for “Batman Begins” was about “Fear”; the fear that Bruce instills in the hearts of criminals and the corrupt as Batman, along with his own fears and how that led to the creation of Batman to begin with, then I would assume that Goyer and Nolan found a way to capitalize on what Superman’s known for standing for the most: Hope.

The hope for a better tomorrow, the hope that superman instills in the hearts of civilians that there is still some good left in the world ready to fight for the right reasons, and the hope that Clark may have personally that he may find his place in the world.
